Why Jesus Washed Feet

But when we think about commitment to serving, just remember Jesus who didn't stop after washing the disciples feet that night. He continued to serve all the way to the cross where his body and his blood were broken for you and me. And today his words that Luke records for us ring loud and true to those of us who call ourselves his followers. Take up your cross daily and follow me. And if you can't, you're not worthy of being one of mine. He's calling each of us to a radically different lifestyle than this world calls us to. Not a lifestyle of status, but of service. Not a lifestyle of happiness, but one of blessedness that comes from serving others. You know, Jesus said, you call me teacher and Lord. And you're right, because that's what I am. And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other's feet. I've given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. What do you say?"
